Photo Number 2090

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Pequot Lakes Minnesota.

Three men with knives butchering. The carcass has been hung to cool, it has been gutted and skinned. It is ready to quarter up.

I grew up on a farm, in the fall a butchering would take place so you had meat for the winter. I remember the day I came home from school and saw two favorite black angus steers hanging…Billie and Willie…a person should never name food.

My thoughts precisely. We used to get our organic beef from some friends nearby, who grazed the animals on their property toward the end of the season. They used to invite us over to "meet our dinner." And name them. Ew. Enough to make a vegetarian out of a person.

Photos No Longer Forgotten

Welcome!

This is my place for photos that have been forgotten and left behind. A look into the past. They were in a couple of boxes in an Antique shop..I couldn't resist them. I now search Antique Shops and Garage sales for old photos. If possible I like to return them to family. There are links to older Full Circles at the bottom of this page :)
